Bengals backing out of trade for Eagles’ Arnold Ebiketie in deadline twist

Source: New York Post

The Bengals are set to back out of a trade with the Eagles that would’ve bolstered their defensive front. After reports said the two sides agreed on a trade that would’ve sent edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie to Cincinnati for a 2027 sixth-round pick, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Bengals are expected to nix the deal. The Bengals would’ve lost a compensatory third-round pick they received when Trey Hendrickson signed with the Ravens, per Schefter.
